Résumé
"I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning."James Joyce's supremely innovative fictional autobiography is also, in the apt phrase of the biographer Richard Ellmann, nothing less than "the gestation of a soul." For as he describes the shabby, cloying, and sometimes terrifying Dublin upbringing of his alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, Joyce immerses the reader in his emerging consciousness, employing language that ranges from baby talk to hellfire sermon to a triumphant artist's manifesto. The result is a novel of immense boldness, eloquence, and energy, a work that inaugurated a literary revolution and has become a model for the portrayal of the self in our time.

-
James Joyce (1882-1941) est un romancier et poète irlandais expatrié, considéré comme l’un des écrivains les plus influents du 20e siècle. Parmi ses œuvres marquantes on compte «Les Gens de Dublin» (1914), «Portrait de l'artiste en jeune homme» (1916), «Ulysse» (1922) et «Finnegans Wake» (1939). Dès sa parution aux États-Unis, «Ulysse» suscite la controverse, puisque jugé obscène, et est interdit jusqu’en 1931. Joyce est décédé à Zurich en 1941.
